    Futures markets, which are a way for traders to move stocks when the major exchanges are closed

    When are we going to call this the gambling addiction it is?

      It’s actually the stock market that’s ridiculous for closing at all. It causes big problems like gaps in trading prices where you can easily miss the stop price.

      It’s 99% automated and we still follow the work schedule of New York for no reason

    According to the boss at my house, we’re back to zero from when we moved during the first days of the pandemic. The moral at work is at an all time low. Everything is super expensive now. If I’m hurting, there must be a hundred people who are hurting even more. So anyway, if I was at the top I would stop soon.

    Imagine a world where everyone is hurting financially and they know it was you who stole from them. No matter where you went, friendly or unfriendly, everyone is your enemy. Looking directly at putin for example, Putin can never go anywhere without protection. He can never enjoy a single five star restaurant without fear that his food is tampered. Forever stuck eating Twinkies and coke?

      I maintain that the tampered food problem is exactly why Drumpf eats at McDonald’s. There are so many stores that he can send someone to go get it for him, knowing that the food is clean, because they have no clue what specific locations he’s going to order from on any given day.

    If I was a betting man, I’d get the hell out of stocks and bonds and go to the horse races because this economy is FUUUCKED!

    you know what. In a very broad philosophical way, i support Trump’s Tariff. It would lead to reduction in global consumption rates, esp the amount of resources Americans and Europeans consume. More Tariffs- >Less consumption-> healthier planet. Win. This is a 5D move by Trump that even he is not aware of.

      In the same way that Nero was an enviromentalist, burning Rome to the ground meant that fewer people were throwing shit in the Tiber, im sure the fish appreciated that.

    Silver is under $30, gold is in it’s correction but at 10:1 I think silver is the right play still. Just my personal preference but I think gold is good when the ratio is more like 5:1.

    I haven’t bought gold in awhile.

    edit: lol, mad techbro comin’ at me. Stay mad and keep F5ing your account. I still haven’t looked and I won’t. It’ll do what it do, I’m not panic selling.
